About Emily
Emily Meyers is a licensed professional counselor (LPC) and a licensed mental health counselor (LMHC) with 16 years of experience. She focuses on practical ways to reduce anxiety and stress and on helping people recover from trauma. Emily offers calm, steady support and simple tools a parent can use day to day.
She uses talking, body-aware practices, and creative tools to help people feel safer in their own skin. Sessions often include breathing work, grounding exercises, and straightforward skill-building for emotion regulation.
Background and approach
The goal is to make coping feel manageable, not overwhelming. Emily works with people facing long-term health challenges, persistent anxiety, and complex or developmental trauma. She also supports those struggling with mood concerns, relationship and communication problems, and life changes like divorce or caregiving stress.
She notices how stress shows up in the body and plans care around real-life routines. Her style blends client-centered listening with practical strategies from cognitive behavioral therapy and acceptance and commitment therapy. At times she adds Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills and emotionally-focused techniques when they fit the situation.
She aims for clear, achievable steps each week. Sessions are offered in English and provided to residents of Missouri. Emily prefers to move at each person’s pace and to build skills that can be used between sessions.
Her work emphasizes small changes that add up to better daily functioning and more ease in relationships.
Therapeutic approaches that translate to online care
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice thoughts and feelings without being controlled by them and clarifies what matters most. It is useful for anxiety, persistent worry, and making life changes that fit personal values. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing them with small, practical experiments to change feelings and behavior. It often helps with depression, anxiety, and problem-solving day-to-day challenges.Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss options and tailor methods to each person’s goals, needs, and preferences. Clients and the therapist decide collaboratively which tools to try and adjust them over time.
Online therapy formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to match different routines and needs. Video sessions let someone use visual cues and interactive exercises. Phone sessions are lower-bandwidth and can fit a break at work. Live chat and text messaging allow short check-ins, progress notes, and ongoing skill reminders between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life while working on emotion regulation, trauma processing, and daily coping skills.
